Shift5, an observability platform for onboard operational technology (OT), has launched its GPS Integrity Module to combat GPS spoofing attacks, according to a press release.
The patent-pending solution is designed for cross-platform deployment to protect GPS applications in the military, aviation, rail, maritime, and space industries via real-time access and analysis of onboard data.
"We're in an era of electronic warfare, defined by the use of hybrid threats on the battlefield," Egon Rinderer, CTO, Shift5, said in the release. "But the use of cyber-physical weaponry isn't restricted to one particular theater of conflict and isn't aimed toward military targets alone. GPS Spoofing is a timely threat in both civilian and military worlds, and invites risk to national defense, a stable supply chain, and to the safety of operators and the public.
"The answer to how we combat these types of GPS attacks comes down to data. Observability into onboard data quantifies the risk posed by GPS spoofing. We're putting a measure of control back into the operator's hands, enabling the DoD to maintain force readiness and lethality while enabling commercial operators to maintain the safety and performance of their fleets."
